README file for jlisp
=====================

jlisp is a lisp interpreter. It is heavily influenced from
the suchlikes of scheme, emacs-lisp, ...

It was designed to be easily used as an embedded interpreter
(which is what is was actually developed for)
It is easily extended.

blah, blah, blah (see the Describble file for more)

To build:
========

I have compiled this under SunOS and NetBSD, but there
ought be no trouble on elsewhats.

look at the file src/jlconf.h, adjust if need be.
edit the top-level Makefile as appropriate
type make
type make install
try it out, type ./jl
send in a bug report to weisberg@ee.rochester.edu


depending on your OS, you may get an error informing
you of a problem with re_comp and re_exec, if this is
the case, you have 3 choices:

	get the GNU regex.c and regex.h and uncomment the
	REGEX line in src/MAKEFILE
or
	delete the "match" code in src/string.c
	(but you will not be able to use the match function)
or
	write your own re_comp and re_exec
